    It is with deep gratitude I thank teacher Ostaseski and nurse Hoffman for her complementing skills This session touched me to the depths of my soul, my beingness. I am not a medical healthcare practitioner, but was drawn to experience this seminar. I have been a caretaker for 2 family members and sensed I would feel a connection to you teacher Ostaseski.

    .I along with my dad who is now 89 cared for my mum at home for 6 years. She began with Dementia at 79 and passed in 2016 with severe Alzheimer’s at 86. He did not want her in a nursing home. The last 2 years were the most challenging, specifically not being trained in any health care practices other than raising three children. Words cannot express the vast range of emotions. Also, the past two years I have been caretaker for my sister now 64. She has dementia and is declining rapidly.

    Two years before my mum passed I enrolled in an 8 week MBSR course at the Mindfulness Center At Umass Memorial in Shrewbury Ma. I learned of Joh Kabat Zinn and discovered the center was close.I thought it could help me with the overwhelming stress.. Listening to you teacher. Ostaseski was an experience I will carry in my heart, always. I am thankful for all the knowledge and tools you touched upon. Your voice, temperament and delivery alone was filled with compassion and kindness,and heavily imbued with mindfulness. I only wish I had the knowledge to help in caring for my mum. Intrinsically, I did feel I was on a similar path of caring as you described. Now I will put into action all you shared, to care for my sister.

    Listening to you was like sitting with a kind caring lifelong friend. I will carry your lessons with me for life. The ebb and flow between nurse Hoffman and you made this all the more endearing. What a special gift you have given all those who had the chance to listen. I am forever changed from being guided to your path.
